freaking huge spider

This morning I saw a freakin huge spider. I've never seen such a huge furry spider running around on staircases before yo.

It was a good 8-9 centimetres long. you can spot it from miles.

Hopefully it means good luck for my paper this morning...

Lizards are not my kind of dessert

Omg last time it was ants. And now it's lizards?? I tell you, i never really had a problem with them before when i merely observed them crawling across walls far away from interfering with my life in any way. Never had a problem, no. UNTIL one of them decided to spring out upon me while i was upon my knees moping the floor of my hostel with a humble wet wipe seeing as i had no mop! That smelly opportunist just had to get me at that moment and wriggle between my limbs to hop into another chest of drawers and hide! From then on i never looked at lizards quite the same and yes, I have a big problem of them being around. Disturbing me in my sleep with their tsk-ing noises...

And now! here is one! The first one to appear in this new room of mine! And a baby one!! Even more gross. Crawled down the wall right in front of my face and is now hiding among the clutter on my table. i have no wish to provoke it as i hope very much we can share a peaceful relationship, it doing its thing and i doing mine. (I cant help but notice its tail swirling up above my cookie tin can every now and then though...)

Well lizard, please disappear with all peacefulness and all will be well once again in this room.

Some things to say on a rainy day

Heavy rain, dripping on my panes,
the cold cold wind, is not at all kind
Cuz im here tryna study and my bed looks so fine~~

(a few hours later the rain stops)

Now its dry and no more rain
I'll get back to work again
But when there's thunder and there's lightning
Nothing like my bed is so inviting!

Okayokay, back to my notes.

and some creepy pics from outside my window.

Secrets to Happiness

Smile a lot. Sleep a lot. Dream a lot.

JRunway

In the midst of the exam period...

I went to see the official opening of JRunway at plaza sing to watch the fashion show! 楽しいと思っただけど…

It was pretty crowded and the camera people were just standing in the most fantastic position in front of me so I could barely see anything. Also, my calves were thoroughly toned after the event. Should have worn like some 2-inch wedges or something since i'm shorter than 70% of the people there.

Anyway. I only took photos of Cheesie cuz she's awesome. And she looks great in person! Not bad right the photos, considering my disad-vantage point. Ta.

Omg. She looks like an elf!

Insomnia

Oh my gosh. It's already 3:32am and I still can't sleep. Kinda regret coming home from hostel not because I don't want to be home, but because there isn't really a proper place to sleep (space constraint at home) and I can't sleep meaning I can't study properly "tomorrow". Yes, it's exam period again and I'm supposed to be all about my notes now though I ain't really. Yea I got my Immuno notes in front of me as I'm typing this but it's 3am man, what is a half-dead student to do?? I'm waiting for my second sis to wake up for her bakery work at 4am so I can take over the proper bed haha. Such is the life of a big family. We must sleep in rotation XD. No luh, I think I'm the only sad bugger at home with such huge problems with sleep (apart from Chair who seems like quite a light sleeper too). Everyone else seems to be able to knock out in any shape, arrangement, flooring, position you name it, they can sleep. If I were to wish for a super power, man, I want one that allows me to fall asleep as and when I require and wake up fresh and ready to bury myself in notes.

Tumour immunology.... tumours can stimulate an immune response...

Oh gosh. Am I reading my notes or are the images just entering my eyes and not my brain? My right arm and left leg have the tiredness that cannot be rested, which makes it all even harder to fall asleep. This is what happens when you don't train for a week and attempt to shoot without warming up properly. Strangely though I shot like a couple of good ends after a long period of lousy trainings and not being able to find my problem. I need to train to be a robot cuz I certainly can't remember the optimal positioning at my current state.

I'm just going on on random topics. 40 more minutes to 4. I don't even think I will be able to sleep when I'm on the proper bed. My mind right now just feels awake, but yet I can't quite think straight.

Anyway. It's 177 days to the Japan Trip! Whoopdidoo I have 5 months and 26 days to save like a ridiculous $400 a month (Impossiburu my friends, my monthly allowance is less than that!). We'll see how things go with tuition and stuff cuz if I get back both my previous students (exams have ended and they are harly-hooing away in a happyland) then life will be very fine, very fine indeed.

I wonder if I should add Chiba Ken to the travel Itinerary afterall. Like it has THIS crazy mountain that I think I would probably be wobbling all about on shaky legs but the view man, the view! And there's an observatory at the top where you can see the whole sky and I'm so torn whether to go during the night or day cuz in the day you may see Fuji-san while at night you can see a panoramic star studded night sky!
